Need Research Help? Ask a Librarian!

Librarians can:

  • Assist you with all your research assignments and reference needs.
  • Help you construct effective catalog searches in order to retrieve a more manageable results list.
  • Assist you with navigating through the library's print and electronic database collections to find just what you need [such as peer-reviewed articles and primary sources] to successfully complete your assignments.
  • Help you develop better information literacy skills, select and narrow a research topic, find and evaluate appropriate resources, understand and use proper citation formats,  and much more.
  • Help you set up an Interlibrary loan account account if you would like to borrow materials from another library.

Visit us in person during the library's open hours, email us a question, or use the Ask A Librarian form to send us a question and receive a reply within two business days.
